No but he has a pet bunny. The bunny has a name.



It's literally his character motivation.

Wasn’t there a book or something that explained how the giant demon boss from the first Wolfenstien game put a curse on BJs family that it would come back and wipe out his blood line, and it turns out that demon is actually the Cyberdemon which makes Doomguy BJs great great great grandson or some poo poo.

Yeah, something like that. I don't know if that's still true with the new Wolfenstein or Doom games, though. But supposedly the new Doomguy is the same exact one from Doom 1 and 2.

Doom 1, Doom 2, and Doom 64, which ends with Doomguy going to Hell to make sure no more demons wind up getting ideas.

Holy Hell.
As of Doom 2016, Doomguy has started to be referred to as the Doomslayer.

IIRC that's how he is listed in character select in Quake Champions.

And he would be a welcome addition to Smash.

Like maybe Death Egg Zone or Space Colony Ark.

One thing I wonder: will they do DLC packs of nothing but new cosmetic skins for characters, will people actually buy them, and will I be one of them?

The answer, of course, is perhaps, maybe, and yes because I am a consumerist lemming.

Characters definitely, stages maybe, outfits probably not, mii fighter costumes hard pass.

I hope they do put out DLC, but I also hope that Sakurai hands it off to his team so he can take a dang break.

Same, Nintendo usually does good by DLC but it could be overpriced nonsense and I'll buy it cause it's Smash.

Also I finally watched the controversial (?) Ridley VS Bayonetta match from the invitational and while Bayo is still kinda BS, I have read some defenses that the stage has a super low ceiling to begin with and that two of Ridley's stocks were taken by a Final Smash and an assist trophy respectively so there was a lot working against him that match. The Mario V Bayonetta later on was much closer and I think Bayo only took it due to an accidental SD, so I have hopes that she's a bit more balanced this time round.

I wish they'd just buff power suit Samus.

On the Ridley front, I'm wondering how his down B actually works. It looks like it's just an incredibly strong stab with decent range that puts people in a crumple state for easy follow up, but that just seems way too good? Maybe it's slower in play than it looks watching videos.

Sakurai showed it off on the treehouse; that Special has a really narrow sweetspot that triggers the crumple. If you whiff that, it's just a weak jab.

Ah, I missed that segment. That's cool then. Ridley looks slick and I'm really looking forward to surfing on people Firebrand style.

Any word on if counters are being changed at all? With dodging giving diminishing returns now and Witch Time already doing that from Smash 4, it makes me wonder if all the Fire Emblem swordsmen will have to use their counters more sparingly.

Yeah those things are definitely true about how he died but my man Leo literally double jumped like 3 or 4 times during the combo. the interaction with her specials and jumps are even more broken at the moment it seems.

I guess the answer is probably, but I stole this chart of what we do and do not know re: stages



-Venom's confirmation is based on the background of Falco's page on the site which is just Corneria viewed from the front.
-I would be shocked if Pirate Ship and Peach's Castle 64 weren't in since they were 4 DLC and almost all 4 stuff has been making it in otherwise.

Don't get me wrong, Wario Ware is fun, but I miss Wario's classic side scrolling adventures. I can't ask for two different Warios in the roster but at least give us a stage inside his castle with breakable walls like in Wario Land 2 or Captain Syrup's pirate ship or something.
